congrats Gaurav! second highest salary is basically mandatory at this point 😂
Got the mail yesterday.
Assessment: aptitude + 2 coding questions (one easy string, one medium array).
Technical (~35 min): OOP pillars with examples, one SQL query (second highest salary, again), lots of questions on my final year project.
HR: relocation, night shifts, why Cognizant.
Tip: for OOP, prepare one example of each pillar from your own project. Interviewer liked that a lot more than textbook examples.
